2. ABOUT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE.

The Terms and Conditions of Use (hereafter referred to as “Terms”) in this Agreement govern your use of the Websites, the Services and/or other interactive features that are accessible or downloadable through the Websites. Please review these Terms carefully. They are legally binding and cannot be modified except as specifically described below.

You represent and warrant that you are more than thirteen (13) years of age and that, if you are under eighteen (18) years of age, your legal guardian has agreed to be bound with you by these Terms. Otherwise, you represent and warrant that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age and that you have the right, authority and capacity to agree to and abide by these Terms in their entirety.

Your access or use of any of the Websites will be deemed to be your agreement to abide by these Terms, and any applicable additional terms (hereafter referred to as “Additional Terms”) that govern certain registrations, products or services offered via the Websites. Additional Terms that are posted or otherwise made available to you in connection with certain registrations, activities, products or services on the Websites shall be deemed to be incorporated into and form a part of these Terms of Use if you take advantage of, participate in or access the registrations, activities, products or services to which they relate. To the extent there is a conflict between these Terms of Use and any Additional Terms, the Additional Terms shall be deemed to exercise ultimate control unless the Additional Terms expressly state otherwise. If you do not agree with any of these terms, please do not access or otherwise use any of the Websites or any information or materials contained on the Websites.

These Terms may be updated by LUCITÀ at any time and at its sole discretion. Therefore, you should review the Terms before each use of any of the Websites. Once any new terms are posted on the Websites, they become effective immediately, and shall be dated as of the new Effective Date for your reference. Your use of any of the Websites after the new terms are posted will signify your agreement to be bound by the new terms.

In addition, please review the LUCITÀ Privacy Policy, which explains our information collection practices, such as the types of information we collect regarding visitors to the Websites, and how we may use or share that information.

3. ONLINE CONTENT.

The Websites (including all past, present and future versions) contain a variety of protected content, whether in the English, Spanish or other languages, including but not limited to: a.) copyrighted audiovisual material, such as photographic images, artwork, illustrations, graphics, videos, music files, audio files and other materials; b.) copyrighted written material, such as text, poems, captions, articles, blogs, directories, advertising and promotional materials; c.) other copyrighted materials, such as data, software, formulas, compilations, front and back end graphical user interfaces, and the overall “look and feel” of the Websites; d.) trademarks, logos, trade names, service marks, and trade identities, and the domain names and URLs associated therewith, whether registered or unregistered (collectively the “Trademarks”); and e.) other forms of intellectual property. All of the foregoing collectively and individually are hereafter referred to as “Content.”

Ownership: The Websites and the Content are owned by LUCITÀ or its licensors. All right, title, and interest in and to the Websites and the Content of the Websites is the sole property of LUCITÀ or its licensors, except where specifically indicated, and is protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, patent and trade secret law and other proprietary rights, treaties and laws as an original work, a compilation and a collective work. Except to the minimum extent otherwise expressly permitted under applicable law or the Terms and Conditions of Use, no reproduction, modification, copying, creation of derivative or similar works, selling or exploiting for commercial purposes, or other exploitation of the Websites, the Content or any portion thereof is permitted without the express prior written permission of LUCITÀ. This applies to copyrighted Content regardless of whether or not a copyright notice appears on such materials, and applies to Trademarks, whether registered or unregistered, and regardless of whether or not a trademark notice appears on such materials.

LUCITÀ does not claim ownership of any of the content posted by third-party users of its Websites. Any copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property rights that may pertain to that content are the sole and exclusive rights of the author/artist who created such content. However, by posting such material in any of the public areas of the Websites, you automatically represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, and have chosen to grant, a perpetual, irrevocable license to LUCITÀ to copy, perform, display and distribute such content and to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate said content into, other works.

Responsibility for the Content: Any content, including but not limited to, blogs, comments, opinions, images, audio, music files and other content posted or uploaded to the Websites by anyone outside of LUCITÀ (such as collaborating authors, artists, scholars or the general public), are the sole responsibility and work of the respective author or artist and not of LUCITÀ. Reliance upon any statements, promises, forecasts or advice made therein is therefore at the user’s own risk. Each respective author or artist is responsible for the content of his or her statements, or the usefulness or validity of any information contained therein.

LUCITÀ does not guarantee, adopt, endorse, nor is responsible for the accuracy, comprehensiveness, completeness, validity or usefulness of any content, information, opinion, advice or statement available on the Websites or through the Services.

You acknowledge and agree that LUCITÀ is not responsible or liable for: (i) the availability or accuracy of such Websites, pages, blogs or resources; or (ii) the content, advertising, products, services or other information on or available from such Websites, pages, blogs or resources. The inclusion of any link to third parties on the Websites does not imply that LUCITÀ endorses the linked third-party Websites.

License: We grant you a nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable, limited License to access, view, and print Content of the LUCITÀ Website only for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, emulate, reproduce any part of the Websites in any form or incorporate into any information retrieval system whether electronic or mechanical, or rent, lease, decompile, disassemble, clone, attempt to discover the source code for, or reverse engineer the Websites, the Services or any portion thereof. You may not remove or obscure any copyright notice, trademark notice, or other proprietary rights notice displayed on or in conjunction with the Content. In addition, this License specifically prohibits you from using any software, script, code, routine, process or device to interfere with the normal or proper working order of the Website or Services. You may not engage in any action that creates an unreasonable large load on the infrastructure of the Websites. Unauthorized access to the Websites and/or Services breaches this Agreement and is a violation of applicable laws. This License may be revoked at any time at the sole discretion of LUCITÀ.

Title: Title to any Content that you download or print is not transferred to you. You may own the medium on which the Content is recorded or printed, but we or our licensor retain all right, title, and interest in and to such Content, and all intellectual property rights therein. You acknowledge that you do not acquire any ownership rights in any Content by using the Websites or by virtue of downloading, printing, modifying or using the Content. All rights not expressly granted under the Terms and Conditions of Use are expressly reserved to LUCITÀ or its licensors, as applicable.

Notice and Procedure for Making Complaints Regarding Copyright of Content: We respect the intellectual property of others and we require that you do the same. We have a policy of terminating the access of users, within our reasonable discretion, to the Websites who infringe the rights of others.

Whenever you make a Submission to a User Forum or some other aspect of the Websites or directly to LUCITÀ (including by email), you: (i) grant to LUCITÀ and its affiliates an irrevocable worldwide, nonexclusive, perpetual, fully sub-licensable and assignable, royalty-free right and license to use, exploit, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, incorporate in other works, and otherwise create derivative works from, publish, distribute, transmit, broadcast, perform, display, and otherwise exercise all rights in and to such Submission (including the right to use or not use your name, voice, likeness and other identifying information in connection therewith), via the Website or otherwise, in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed, without any compensation to you; and (ii) consent to all relevant acts or omissions in relation to your moral rights in such Submission (if any) which are or might otherwise constitute a breach or infringement of those moral rights and, to the extent permitted by law, waive all your moral rights in such Submission, even if such material is altered or changed in a manner not agreeable to you.
